One more update to the webrev. I removed the wcmgr binary from 
install-sfw and prototype_com, as it's useless. This program only works 
if webalizer is compiled with DNS support and I am explicitly compiling 
without. If I leave wcmgr in the package, you can run it, but it will 
just produce this message:

$ ./wcmgr
********************* NOTICE!! *********************
This version of the Webalizer was not compiled with
DNS support.  In order to use this program, you must
configure the Webalizer at build time with the DNS
support enabled (--enable-dns configure option).
****************************************************

Now the reason I disabled DNS is that DNS support in webalizer depends 
on BerkeleyDB, and I was having trouble linking against it on 
opensolaris. I see the library file /usr/lib/libdb.so.1 but there's no 
/usr/lib/libdb.so and it's not found by the linker. It appears that 
SUNWbdb package does not create /usr/lib/libdb.so symlink (although it 
creates libdb-java.so) and I'm not sure if that's a bug or intentional. 
I also came across a scary licensing warning in /usr/lib/bdb/NOTICE 
which made me think it might be best to avoid using BDB in F/OSS projects.

Bottom line - webalizer is built without DNS support so I removed the 
useless wcmgr binary. However the man page describes DNS functionality. 
Do i need to put a note somewhere explaining that DNS support is not 
available? Or would it be best to keep wcmgr, and if the user runs it, 
the output will tell them DNS is not available?

Thanks,
